THIS special issue of New Age is producedin honour of Afrika Day-April IS-the

day set aside by the All African People'sConference to mark the achievements of thepeoples of this continent in the struggle forFreedom and Independence.

In all com ers of Africa on April 15 peoplewill be gathering in their thousands and tensof thousands to re-dedicate themselves to thefreedom struggle.

T40se who have already won their freedom--the peoples of 29 states with a population of190 million-will be faced with the task ofraising tbe living standards of tbeir peoples,amongst the lowest in the world.

Those who still live under White or colonialdomination-the peoples of 21 states with apopulation of 80 million-still face the hardestbattles. But they will enter the future confidentin the knowledge that tbe whole of Africa,indeed the whole of the civilised world, isbehind them in their struggle against impe­rialism.

Ten years ago the number of free Africanstates could be counted on the fingers of onehand. Who doubts that in ten years time thewhole African continent wiD be free?

Afrika Day meetings will be held in manycentres of South Africa on Sunday, April 15.In Cape Town the occasion will be celebratedwith a mass meeting on the Grand Parade at3 p.m, Speakers will include representatives ofthe Congresses, the Liberal Party, Civil RightsLeague, NUSAS and a number of other orga­nisations.

In Johannesburg the Congress Alliance isholding a mass rally on Sunday, April 15, at49a Station Road, Kliptown (about 50 yardswest of Kliptown station), starting at 10 a.m,

Many residents of Alexandrahave repeatedly tried to get per­mits from the Peri Urban Board,but have been refused. Instead thePeri Urban has joined the policein this most inhuman treatmentmeted out to human beings.Everybody derives pleasure inearning his living the normal way,but these are the conditions whichforce the African people to resortto crime and the underworld.

The people of the Transkeishould beware of Matanzima. Heis selling them to Verwoerd andhis pro-Nazi ministers. He went toPretoria to represent himself notthe people. Let us not forgetTshombe in the Congo and BothaSigcau of Pondoland.

The Alliance between the Ban­tustan chiefs and the police isbecoming more and more appar­ent as could be seen when KaizerMatanzima and his committeevisited Pretoria recently. Theywere escorted by a police forcearmed with sten guns, and thepress and public wcre excluded.But de Wet Nel boasts of theChiefs' popularity. h this policeprotection an indication of theChiefs' popularity?

What do the Nationalists intendby telling their White South Afri­cans that the Afro-Asian statesplan war against us? Instead ofspending money unnecessarily itcould be given us in the form ofhigher wages and equal rights.Verwoerd's granite wall is crack­ing and the Nationalists are afraidto admit that there can be peacehere if only they do away withtheir baasskap.

We are prepared to live underany government provided we haveour rights. We are not prepared tolive under a government thatdominates .one section of thepopulation by force and banish­ments.

Cape Flats

Mr: Fouche's warning to theWhites to prepare for war is justanother Nationalist dream. SouthAfrica wants no preparation forwar.

I appeal to the white womenwho join shooting clubs to jointhe Federat ion of South AfricanWomen where they can make pre­parations for the future of ourchildren.

AGENCIES OFAPARTHEID

Britain, Get OutOf Bechuanaland

East London

Although apartheid has beencondemned all over the world­even in Holland from whencemany of the Nationa lists originate- they persist in forcing it uponthe population by suppressingpeace, by Sharpevilles and Lang as,hunger and starvation. And to addto that South African goods arenow being boycotted .

Forward Africans to a free. non­racial, democratic South Africa.

K. MPAHLAZA

Bantu Authorities and UrbanBantu Councils are agencies ofapartheid. formed to serve theaims of the Nationalists. Divideand rule is their master-plan. andto accept or serve on these bodiesis to accept apartheid.

Our demand is freedom-notserfdom. Let us be faithful byworking for a free democraticSouth Africa in which all shallhave the right to vote without fearof discrimination.

MELVIN MABONAPort Elizabeth

For 76 years now Britain hasbeen turning a blind eye to theadvancement of the Bechuanalandpeople. What has brought aboutthis change in the people and whywill the walls of colonialism tum­ble before the mighty roar of free­dom? Because for 76 years wehave bottled our resentment andnow we can tolera te imperialismand colonialism no longer.

Away with imperialists and their' offers qed with strings. What Bri­tain failed to do in 76 years, theBechuanaland People's Party willdo in less than five years.

CAPE TOWNA decision to appeal to the gov­

ernment for minimum wages of RI2and R9 a week for urban and ruralwoikers respectively was taken bythe General Workers' Union at itsannual general meeting here onSunday.

The meeting also demanded therecognition of African workers asemployees under the Industrial Con­ciliation Act. A resolution waspassed urging the repeal of the Ur­ban Areas Act and calling on em­ployers not to implicate themselvesin the measures taken to endorseAfrican employees out of the Capearea.

• described the Group AreasAct as a monstrous piece of legisla­non designed to uproot the Non­white people econorn.cally, educa­tionally, socially and religiously;

• charged the Nationalists wifhprovoking war hysteria and racialhatred between Whites and Non­Whites;

• condemned job reservationand called on the Government topay attention to the legitimate needsof the people instead of massingammun.t on to implement its poli­cies by force.

A large contingent of Spec.alBranch detectives were also pre-entat the meeting.

"I sang of independence, and sang that song all the time." With these words Jomo Kenyatta, veteranKenya freedom fighter seen above left with Tom MOOya, summed up the leadership which he providedto the Kenya African National Union delegation at the recently ended Kenya constitutional conference inLondon. KANU called for speedy independence and a strong, united Kenya. The tribalist Kenya AfricanDemocratic Union also asked for independence soon, but time and again halted tbe progress of the talk!J

Five More Arrestsin Cape Town

NO FUTU RE

These destitute people feel despe­rate about their future on this bar­ren stretch of ground which hasbeen allocated to them. They hadalready sown their crops in the Mid- "delburg area round about Novemberof last year and were expecting toreap the harvest in June. But nowit is too late to plough and as aresult they will be without theirstaple diet during the wintermonths. Unless help is forthcomingmost of them will starve.

Chief Ramaube informed NewAge that he was determined to takelegal action against these removalsand he and his counsellors hadcome to Johannesburg for thispurpose.

BRUTALLY BEATEN

Mr. David Sebesho, aged 59, oneof the Counsellors who had comein to see New Age, bitterly des­cribed how they had to look onhelplessly while tractors fitted withchains proceeded to pull down allthe houses which had been evacu­ated. Many of them which had beenbulldozed to the ground were thenset alight and completely burnedout while pol.ce and officials stoodby. Only eight houses now remainedstanding, together with the Church.Many benches, for which the tribehad paid, were removed from theChurch and never seen again.

At Nebo the people are be.ngaccommodated in tents. They areexpected to build their own housesbut have not received any compen­sation for the homes which hadbeen destroyed nor have they beensupplied with materials for the pur­pose. They were forced to abandontheir cattle and sheep and all otherlivestock at Kleindoringkop becausethe authorities refused to provide

The reports from womenwhere the struggle for indepen­dence has not yet been wonwere in sharp contrast to thosefrom the newly independentcountries.

The deepest impression wasmade by the young delegate fromthe Algerian Liberat .on Move­ment, Madame Mamia Chentouf.

She spoke of the great centresof civilisation that had existed inAfrica long before the white manset foot on the continent, of howover 100 million Africans hadbeen torn from their homes andsold in bonda ge during the fourcenturies of the slave tra de.

She described how men andwomen fought the colonialistswho came to rob Africa of herwealth and of how Africa wascarved up between the great im­perialist powers. Then she spokeabout the sweep forwa rd of thelibera tion movement since theSecond World War .

The reports from women'sleaders in the newly indepen­dent countries were most in­spiring. They described howin the old days women wereregarded as inferior beingsand werehumiliated.

Madame Cama ra Loffo, Secre­tary of State for Social Affairsand member of the National Bu­reau of the Republ ic of Guinea ,said: "The more the men allowedthemselves to be oppressed by anunjust power, the less they re­spected women."

Other delegates also stressedthat under colonialism womenwere doubl y slaves-to the colo­nialist and to their husbands, whocould throw them out on theflimsiest excuse-and even forcethem to pay back the bride price.

Madame Loffo also said,"Lazy women cannot be foundin Africa. " They not only dothe hard work for their families,which often means carrying waterfor long distances, grinding corn ,pulping yams and cooking on awood fire on the ground but workin the fields and carry the produceon their heads many m'les to thenearest market.

who run Coloured rugby inKimberley are up to somedirty work. Now it has comeinto the open. Last week theymet Danie Craven, boss ofwhite racial rugby, and agreedto affiliate to his body.

So the racialists have joinedforces to escape international iso­lation.

The repeated appeals of theSouth African Spor ts Associationand the attempts of Louis Mtshi­zana and his African rugby play­ers to get a merge seem to havefailed.
